Carlos was very friendly and helpful. The shop has a hood atmosphere and everyone was personable and professional and it doesn’t feel like they are trying to up sell. That’s important and I will take my vehicle back next time I need service.

AAA recommended that they tow my car to this auto shop (which they’re not allowed to do, I didn’t know at the time). First they way over priced an oil change at $280 and for another repair that my regular mechanic said should only cost 350 max they estimated almost $800. Total scam. When I called them out for it over the phone they threatened that I couldn’t get my car back until after the weekend (this took place on Friday during open hours) even though they don’t close until 5pm and we were on the phone at 1:30pm. I told them not to work on my car and when I came in to pick it up they were very rude and talked to me like I was a child. $150 for diagnostics is not a thing at most trusted mechanic shops but I paid it to avoid any more of a hassle. Still can’t believe what a scam I almost got caught in. Do yourself a favor don’t go here ever and if AAA ever tells you to go to a certain mechanic report them because it’s not allowed.

Service here is always great, never have any complaints. If you need any work done I suggest Lavon D. He always exceeds your experience at an auto repair shop with great quality work!

I have been to Encinitas Foreign and Domestic a few times over the years, and watched the service, always excellent, get increasingly better, in terms of quality of work, communication with customer, and follow up. One particular good thing to me is the positive element of going green. Recycling and using products that won't damage our ecosphere is very important to us all. The service was not overpriced for the work done, and the inspection covered everything.

Totally trustworthy & competent. What more can you ask from a car repair place? We now live in Vista but will still never go anywhere else

Outstanding service! Called for smog check, they promptly accommodated my schedule, timely work done and seeing that they provide detailing service I requested to buff a poor touch up job I had done myself. They did a phenomenal job removing the patchy appearance for no additional cost. Very customer oriented staff. They now have earned a new customer for life. Thank you!

First time at EF&DA. Took my van in for an alignment and AAA multi-point check. Found out they couldn't do an alignment on a vehicle with lane-keeping, but they provided a good referral, and did the multi-point check anyway, gratis. Thank you Dory, and the EF&DA staff!

EF&D is very near my work and is adjacent to an alley I sometimes use to avoid traffic on 101.That takes me right by the garage area where cars are worked on. I couldn’t help but notice how clean the garage was!I’d been looking for a new car repair shop so I decided to give this one a try. I walked into the very busy office and was immediately greeted by Jonathan. Great communication and thorough evaluation of repair needs.They had my car ready as promised. They even have a little work area with WI-FI if you need to get things done while you wait.Jonathan is amazing and very professional and friendly.. I’ve only ever dealt with Jonathan and I am sure the other two employees at front desk are just as wonderful.Hard to find this caliber of service and work ethic these days. I won’t go anywhere else.

I have been taking my cars (family) to EF&D since 2005. This family owned business has provided excellent service for us. They are really good at listening and being patient with me as I am not well versed in the mechanics of a car. They all, many times, have helped me to decide what needs to be fixed right away versus "monitoring" as cost, many times, determines what all gets done. The staff has been there for years which tells a customer the quality of leadership. We all know that a business has its internal challenges; however, it appears and feels as though this team works seamlessly to provide a rock-solid service to our community. I highly recommend this business.
